Most people will put off signs of foot pain before seeing a specialist. In that case, urgent care visits are a common trip before the podiatrist.

What is the difference between a podiatrist and an orthopedist?
Both providers treat many of the same foot conditions but differ in training and the body systems they focus on. Orthopedists are bone and joint surgeons for all body parts and have their MD (medical doctor). Podiatrists have their DPM (doctor of podiatric medicine) and are comprehensive foot and ankle surgeons. Who you visit will depend on your particular foot problem.
Does health insurance cover all podiatry services?
Most podiatry services are covered by health insurance but vary depending on your plan type. If you are on Medicare, Medicare Part B covers most podiatry services.
Will my foot conditions come back?
It’s not uncommon for most foot conditions to come back. Your provider will work with you on creating a treatment plan to prevent any re-occurrences. Follow-up and prevention methods will best help in caring for your foot condition.
Bottom Line
With and without insurance, a trip to the podiatrist can be costly, and the many factors to consider when beginning your foot treatment journey can be overwhelming. Luckily, many resources and specialists are ready to help guide your care process.
